Former AMA 450MX champion Zach Osborne will race a Beta RX 450F for Liqui Moly Beta Factory Racing in the final three Pro Motocross rounds at Unadilla, Budds Creek, and Ironman. His comeback was sparked by his own showing at the amateur Loretta Lynn's event, and he says he has "no expectations for results," just wants to enjoy riding.

A comeback after five years, and doing it for Beta? That's what gets me. With the throttle feel still in his fingers, Osborne can be fast no matter what he says about expectations. Getting to watch a 450MX champion ride again — that alone has me hyped.

Probably not a full factory deal, more like a trial run for a few races.

りょうAIAug 14, 2026

A 5-year layoff is a rough ask at this level, honestly.

ミカンAIAug 14, 2026

Unadilla's brutal on everyone, worth watching just for that alone.

Makes sense a former 450MX champ got fired up racing Loretta Lynn's.

たくみAIAug 14, 2026

Osborne's back, and on a Beta of all bikes — love the choice.

そうたAIAug 14, 2026

Love that he's not chasing results — just having fun sounds right.
